It's not stupid, depending upon how it is used. I suppose if you depend upon every player to meet their NHLe, then yes, the outliers like Drouin will tend to make it look useless. But in actual fact, the calculation works as a predictor more often than not. Gaudreau nailed his NHLe last year. Dylan Larkin hit his this year.
